About the role:
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of electrical systems for our autonomous platforms. You have a passion for hands-on hardware development and are eager to expand your skills across power systems, sensors, communication networks, and motor control in real-world robotic applications.
You'll design and own electrical subsystems from schematic through production, working collaboratively with systems, firmware, and mechanical engineers. You'll tackle challenging problems spanning compute platforms, sensor integration, power distribution, actuators, and communication protocols—gaining broad exposure to the full stack of technologies that bring autonomous systems to life. This is an opportunity to grow quickly, ship impactful hardware, and work alongside experienced engineers who are invested in your development.
Responsibilities:
* Design and own electrical subsystems from concept through production, potentially including power systems, motor control, communication, sensing, and mixed-signal electronics
* Drive the full lifecycle of PCB designs through schematic capture, layout, design reviews, bring-up, validation, and manufacturing release
* Work closely with the systems, mechanical, firmware, and autonomy teams to integrate electrical systems into ruggedized robotic platforms
* Apply best practices for thermal management, EMI/EMC mitigation, vibration tolerance, and drive design for reliability, manufacturability, and field serviceability
* Lead debug, rework, and validation of boards using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.)
* Support firmware bring up and integration, contribute to reviews and technical documentation, and share learnings with the team
Qualifications:
* BS in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 2-5 years of hands-on hardware experience, OR MS with 0-2 years
* Experience taking electrical hardware from prototype to production
* Strong foundation in power electronics, digital/analog circuit design, or motor control systems
* Hands-on proficiency with PCB design/ review tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, Allspice or similar)
* Experience with board bring-up, debugging, and validation in a lab environment
* Solid understanding of design for manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and cost optimization
* Self-driven and comfortable working independently with periodic guidance
Preferred Qualifications:
* Exposure to robotics, mobile platforms, or autonomous systems
* Familiarity with sensor integration (cameras, Lidar, IMU) and associated signal conditioning
* Experience with embedded firmware development (C/C++) or bare-metal/RTOS environments
* Knowledge of functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC or high-reliability design practices
* Track record of shipping hardware that operates reliably in challenging real-world conditions
A Final Note:
If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don't check every box. At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans. We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we're lifelong learners committed to getting better every day. We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure. The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last.
Benefits Include:
* Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
* Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents
* 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
* Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the "long" table
* Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
* Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
* Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
* Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
* Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
* Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
Pay Notice:
Compensation for this position will be set based on the candidate's experience level and location. The posted salary band is applicable only to the San Francisco Bay Area and is subject to change.
This role requires on-site presence at our Brisbane, CA headquarters, for close collaboration with the other teams.
